What Are the Chiefs' Odds to Make the Playoffs?
The Chiefs are +120 to make the playoffs, a number thatâs likely to shift throughout the rest of the season. Kansas City has made the postseason every year since 2015, but at +2500, they have the third-best odds to win the AFC West. Kansas City now relies on clinching a wild card to make the postseason this year.
Can the Chiefs Make the Playoffs?
Yes, the Chiefs can make the NFL playoffs, but it's not going to be a walk in the park. With just six wins under their belt, Kansas City needs to finish the season strong against tough opponents such as the Texans, Broncos, and Chargers. That leads us to this question: can the Chiefs win the Super Bowl?

Key Contributors Toward the Chiefs' Playoff Chances
The Kansas City Chiefs' offense runs through superstar QB Patrick Mahomes. In fact, odds for Mahomes to win the MVP are a great bet every season. Mahomes recently carried the shortest odds to win MVP in 2025 at DraftKings, but has now slipped to the tenth-shortest.
Patrick Mahomes is in his eighth season as QB1 with a familiar core, Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, and JuJu Smith-Schuster. The Chiefs also re-signed RB Kareem Hunt and signed rookie Jalen Royals to give Mahomes even more options. WR Rashee Rice was suspended for the first six weeks after violating the NFLâs personal conduct policy, stemming from a 2024 multi-vehicle crash in Dallas and returned in Week 7 with two touchdowns.
The Chiefs worked on their offensive line this offseason, placing their non-exclusive franchise tag on guard Trey Smith and trading guard Joe Thuney to Chicago for a 2026 fourth-round pick. Kansas City signed OT Jaylon Moore and re-signed Mike Caliendo as well. Defensively, Kansas City has a strong unit, led by Chris Jones, Trent McDuffie, and Nick Bolton. With the Chiefs re-signing Charles Omenihu and Nazeeh Johnson, along with adding CB Kristian Fulton, their defense is even stronger in 2025. So with all of the pieces together, their struggles this season come as a surprise.

Chiefs' Playoffs Predictions and Outlook
The Chiefs are on a 2025 revenge tour after their Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles, and with Patrick Mahomes leading the way, theyâre coming back hungry. In Kansas City, playoff football isnât a question, itâs the standard. After early losses to a division rival and the Eagles, the Chiefs looked to rebound, but with just six wins, their postseason hopes are now in jeopardy.
Andy Reid knows how to coach and win. The biggest factor in Kansas Cityâs 2025 playoff chances will be how they perform down the stretch against tough AFC opponents. After losing to the Cowboys, Kansas Cityâs hopes have dimmed. They now must navigate games against the Texans, Chargers, and the AFC-leading Denver Broncos in Week 17. For the first time in a decade, the Chiefs could miss the postseason.
Chiefs' Playoff Chances FAQ
The Chiefs' chances of making the playoffs in 2025 are 45.6%. This is based on +120 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook. Kansas City has made the playoffs for ten consecutive seasons and has reached the Super Bowl five times in the last seven years.
The Chiefs can certainly make the playoffs, as they have in each of the last ten seasons. But with strong competition from the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers, and Indianapolis Colts this year, Kansas Cityâs postseason chances are far from guaranteed.
You can currently bet on the Chiefs' playoff odds in Missouri as of December 1, 2025. The top sportsbooks in Missouri include DraftKings, FanDuel, bet365, BetMGM, Caesars, Fanatics, and the newly launched app, theScore Bet.
